Good Humor and Coca discipline.

0404 H0MoS ~ 10~4 DAsShRtAh1s
Several years ago the convicts in q
large penitentiary ~conspired together and
made an unsuccessful attempt TO escape.
In the struggle the leader of the prisoners
and one Of the keepers were killed. The
men were secured, but they remained in
q gloomy and vindictive temper for
months afterward.
Stricter discipline was enforced, and
then. after some time, kindness was tried
10 conciliate them. Their rations inn
proved in quality and several new privi-
leges were granted them, but it was all in
vain.
1--WE are sleeping on a volcano" the
warden reported. ''They are in q
murderous humor."
He then recommended the appointment
Of o certain Dan Pickerell a assistant
warden, the mar who held that Office be-
ing q grim, sarcastic fellow, especially
disliked by the prisoners. Dan was IN
exorably firm as an officer, but he was q
fat, jolly embodiment of good humor.
He exacted every jot and title of service
from the c~onvicts; but, that rendered, he
took an interest in them, in their rheuma-
tism, their toothaches, their children,
their plans for life after discharge.
They were human beings to him, not
numbered beasts in cages; he was not
afraid to joke and laugh with them. In
two weeks time the men were quiet and
contented. Good humor had done it,
work. The revolt was over.
''Good humor," says German writer,
sis one of the rank and file Of human
virtues. which we are apt to overlook;
but it wins more battles in life than do a
mighty intellect or lofty imagination. -

Mexican Laborers on the Farm.

The laborers who work on the farm
are well cared for, and although only
earning a real and a half-30 cents a
day-seem happy and contented. The
ordinary farm hand is quite averse to
adopting anything that Is new, and when
several American plows were brought to
the place they declared that the machines
had too many handles. The plow which
they have used for ages consists of a
crooked knot of wood with one handle.
In front there is a projection, to which
the oxen are fastened. Although a very
clumsy affair, considerable work can be
done with one Of them during the day.
The laborers are very conscientious and
work as well when left to themselves as
when under an overseer. When given q
bushel or two of grain to plant the
owner knows that his orders will be car.
ried out, and that all the seed will be
planted instead of being dumped in an
old hollow tree, as is often the case ON
our northern farms .-Jalapa Mex.) Cor.

The members of the Gen. Lander

who visited Richmond last week. had
. very unpleasant experience In con.
nection with the flag matter. details d
which have just become known. N
appears that the Massachusetts, soldiers
were compelled to listen to insolence
from Virginia orators, and were told
that unity depended upon recognition
Of the oonfederacy, and that the rebel
flag should be joined with the stars
and stripes. The Lynn Grand Army
men mingled with the Picket men at
Gettysburg and saw or heard no repul-
sive talk concerning the late unpleas-
autness until they reached Richmond.
On Tuesday evening Q banquet was
held. The speeches were all Of Q sat-

BOULANGER.

The Rouvier ministry 10 already in
trouble. The distinguishing feature
Of that ministry is that 1t does not
contain Gen. Boulanger. He was not
merely relieved from the wal depart
ment, but 10 sent In great haste to
command an army corps remote from
Paris. The ministers did not dare to
leave him in that city on occasion Of
the national fete Of the Fourth Of Ju-
ly. Tie Psrisians are passionately de.
voted to the ex-minister of war, and
even without him there may be trou-
BILE tomorrow. It will be remembered
that Gen. Boulanger devoted himself
during his ministry with the utmos.
enthusiasm and with marked success
to the improvement Of the French
army. That is an object dear TO the
French heart. Sedan yet rankles In
the thoughts of the Frenchmen. So
well understood was IL that Boulanger
aimed at revenge on Germany, that
at the same time he won profound
popularity in France, and profound
unpopularity across the Rhine. His
displacement was a great relief to Bis
marck. But it:is by no mean sure
that he will stay displaced. The re-
lstions of France and Germany are
strained at best, rs the spy trials have
shown. Peace 10 by no means assured
and war certainly means Boulanger.
We should think the people Of France
would be a little shy Of military he
ross, after their experience Of the last
century. However. human nature,
and especially French human nature,
does not rest easily under the stigma
of defeat. The Prussisns stynslly
avenged Jena, and the whirligig of
fate may bring the tri-color q second
time to Berlin.

Remarkable Operation.

Mrs. Luckembaugh, the lady from a
distance that Doctors lakewood and
Steelsmith performed an operation a
short time ago, is sufficiently recovered
to return home, and will do so tOmor-
row or next day. The operation con-
sisted of sewing up an opening in the
bladder as large as a silver half dollar.
The lady had been in this condition for
two years and had given up all hopes of
recovery, when it came to the notice of
these physicians and they performed
the operation with the above successful
result. One can imagine the happy
state of the suffers mind at this time.
She is living illustration of the re-
